VB.Net Simple function to get external IP-adress

[BlindSniper]

This is The Code

Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions

 Function GetExternalIP() As IPAddress
        Dim lol As WebClient = New WebClient()
        Dim str As String = lol.DownloadString("http://www.ip-adress.com/")
        Dim pattern As String = "<h2>My IP address is: (.+)</h2>"
        Dim matches1 As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(str, pattern)
        Dim ip As String = matches1(0).ToString
        ip = ip.Remove(0, 21)
        ip = ip.Replace("</h2>", "")
        ip = ip.Replace(" ", "")
        Return IPAddress.Parse(ip)
    End Function

This is How to use it

 Dim MyIP As IPAddress = GetExternalIP()

This code is an easy method to get your Ip-address. I've read that sites disclaimer and all the fine print and nothing said I'm not allowed to parse it's html code, although I'm not sure if their is a daily limit or not

This is my first code bank submission and I hope that it will help someone out
